The Black Rider
“An undead rider crosses a desolate landscape, carrying the weight of ancient curses. I focused on atmosphere and silhouette to create a sense of mystery and quiet menace.”
Morvane
“This piece began as a simple encounter between a rider and a creature. I was interested in creating a sense of unease and scale, allowing the atmosphere to carry the story.”
Nomad Ronin
“A samurai-like character alongside a mechanical being, exploring the contrast between traditional and technological forms. Organic and industrial shapes within a single design.”
Hunters
“This piece is a character design exploring the visual language of fantasy hunters. I used colour contrasts to strengthen readability and create a clear visual hierarchy.
